BeauandBess Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Hello My Mum lived in Bridport Road next to the pub. On one of the raids in the blitz, they weren't allowed back into the house and had to sleep on the school floor and wait to be "claimed" by relatives. Mum has many memories of these times and I would be glad to pass these on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did post to say that my Mum lived in Bridport Road, Darnal and remembers the blitz. Hopefully, you will get this message as it's a few years since you posted.
